i count 9 options, 2 of which have multiple choices as well, in the task manager dialog. how many before we hit the Officially Insane Number of Checkboxes Value? i've said it before, but i may as well repeat it again: you can have one widget that does every imaginable permutation possible. the result is a horrible disgusting mess of code nobody wants to touch and a horrible disgusting mess of a configuration dialog that annoys nearly everyone. what's really stupid about this approach is that *most* of these settings are the "set once and forget it" type. while i may change the timezones in my clock regularly, i don't switch between a digital and an analog type very often. the alternative is to create different widgets that do certain specific things and let the user chose at the beginning of using that widget which direction to go. that's why we don't have one clock widget but several. in kicker we had one clock applet that tried to be everything to everyone and the results were stupidly bad. so .. if you want a icons-only taskbar ... make one. -- Aaron J.
